Kim Louise has made it to my favorite author list. Her latest book has you burning the night light because you just can't put the book down. Sabin Strong has been hired to protect Montgomery Claiborne from someone who wants his life. In the search of her birth parents she needs this job for the money. But what she was not expecting was losing control of her heart. She falls head over hills in love with Montgomery.

Montgomery knows that someone is trying to kill him and on his first meeting with Sabin he thinks that she may be the one. His thoughts changes when Sabin is there to save his life more than once. It was nice to see how Sabin and Montgomery's relationship blossoms. And they not only begin to trust each other but fall deep in love.

I don't want to say to much because you have to read this fast and easy read. You will love how the secondary characters also keep the pages turning. I think that Kim should continue the story of Montgomery's sister Cherlyn and Lucien. It will be an interesting story.

If you haven't picked up this book, I urge you to run to the nearest bookstore. You will not be disappointed.

Hats off to Kim Loise!!! I think this is her best book yet. I was not too impressed by A Touch Away, but this one more than makes up for it. I loved how Sabin was not the damsel in distress, desperate for a man to rescue her. Instead Kim "flips the script" on the average female heroine stereotype. Sabin is strong, fierce, and independent yet somewhat vulnerable. I loved the storyline. It was full of suspense and intrigue, the passion was intense and will leave you breathless. Great ending, but I wish it were a little more involved. It was an overall great read! Worth every penny!

The plot: Someone is trying to kill Montgomery Claiborne. Sabin Strong has been hired to protect him. Montgomery doesn't know this and at times suspects she might be the the one trying to kill him.
The compliments: I liked that Sabin was a strong woman who could take care of herself and her man.
The book is very well written and the characters are well-developed.
The complaints: I didn't like Montgomery. He was a pompous, stubborn, self-righteous know-it-all.
By page 50, I had already figured out who was trying to kill Montgomery. Mystery over.
The main characters don't spend much time together in the first part of the novel and when they did, they spent it arguing.
The story develops too slowly; the book was over half gone before Sabin and Montgomery shared so much as a kiss.
Time was wasted developing a romance between Montgomery's sister and a police officer. I wouldn't have been irritated by that it if it wasn't for the fact that the author kind of dropped that storyline and didn't pick it up again until the last chapter (which is really only an epilogue). In actuality, their romance was more interesting/entertaining than the main romance.
Conclusion: Not a bad book for the price, but I probably won't buy another book by this author. My main complaints would probably be that the romance between Sabin and Montgomery took too long to develop and the constant bickering (over EVERYTHING--significant and insignificant) that went on between the two of them.

Kim Louise is paving a fast track on my list of favorite authors. "Falling for You" was a wonderful, sexy, romantic "who's doing it."

Someone was out to kill gorgeous businessman Montgomery Claiborne. Unbeknownst to him, sexy siren Sabin Strong, a motorcycle-riding, no-nonsense taking, martial arts expert was hired to protect him.

I love the intensity between these two characters. Throughout her life, Sabin had conditioned herself not to exhibit emotions or let anyone get too close to her. In some aspects it helped with her occupation as a bodyguard, but it thwarted her existence as a woman.

Montgomery had had his share of relationships, however it wasn't looking for anything permanent - especially not with Sabin. He thought she was opinionated and bossy. However, when they began to spend time with each other, he soon realized that these traits - among many others - endeared her to him. And he wanted more.

The book was fast paced and well written. Ms. Louise kept my interest because of Montgomery's need to find out who was trying to kill him and Sabin's need to keep her identity and purpose a secret.

The love scenes were passionate and sexy. Whew! I reread them at least 4 times, before I moved on to the rest of the story. The secondary characters (Montgomery's sister, father and detective Carvell) balanced out well against the main characters and added depth to the book. Great read.

i loved this book.this book had the right pace .you did not have to wait for half of the book to get to crust of it.the heroin sabin she was straight forward and honest about her fellings which was refreshing. montgomery was funny and openly honest and real i had no problem beleiving his point of veiw about women also refreshing. it was a good thriller also.and very very very funny.i recommend this book.it get 2 thumbs and 2 snapps with a twist.

KIM HAS DONE IT AGAIN, THIS BOOK HAS IT ALL MYSTERY, SEX AND FAMILY SECERTS. IS A WONDERFUL STORY OF LOVE AND PASSION. THIS IS A MUST READ. ONCE YOU PICK IT UP, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN. YOU WILL FALL FOR MONTGOMERY AND SABIN. JUST AS I DID,. MY HAT IS OFF TO MS KIM LOUISE!!!!!!!

I love the tough girl body guards. I think it's cool to have a woman who is strong and independent and deadly. This book was very good.

This was a nice romantic book.To me Sabin had to find happiness
first before she could love or find love."Falling For You "is a nice caption for this book.I would say this is a must read love novel.

I liked how this was about a woman, that had to be "the bodyguard", some parts made me laugh..... they were always disagreeing about something... oh yea, don't be fooled by the cover, this is NOT an interracial romance.
